Hi Karabass, I've just maxed the string spacing and it is exactly 19mm (the total distance of the 4 gaps is 76mm) I'm not sure it's designed to be like this, but it still plays great and plenty of room at the edge of the 22nd fret so strings won't fall off the edge. I hope that helps.

Potentially? There is a small allen key which adjusts the saddle sideways? I've never tried to use it to adjust the total spacing on all strings but for a change as small as 1mm, it might be possible. I'll take a look this evening.

Weight is 4.7kg on my bath room scales and string spacing appears to be 18mm by my ruler. It has 22 frets and also a zero fret.

Thank you, it is a great bass to play...anyone interested is welcome to try it out. Please don't let me super honest approach to selling (close ups of every mark) put you off, the marks aren't visible when playing. Also forgot to mention that I'm open to trades....anything interesting, let me know (especially fretless or even double bass?) (Original posted edited to reflect)

Sandberg California JM5 Supreme custom shop (Sandberg gig bag included) For sale is a lovely Sandberg California JM5 Supreme custom shop (now replaced with the California TM series), effectively their version of a jazz bass but with a humbucker at the bridge. The 'custom shop' which is printed on the head stock refers to the colour/scratch plate selection which was only available via custom order which is a very subtle "sunburst Dark brown to black and marbled silver scratch plate". It would have been somewhere around £1400 new but I bought it here on Bass chat about 5 years ago for £750 due to some buckle rash on the back and underside and a replaced battery cover. The condition is still the same and I'm willing to go down to £700 (comes with a new Sandberg gig bag), it still plays as good, no buckle rash is visible whilst playing. I loved the bass so much that the only reason I'm selling is because I've bought a newer version of the exact same model. Also open to trades, I could do with a fretless or even double bass EDIT: Please find below the spec (as much as I know - its not on the website anymore) 5 Sting Zero Fret at the nut 22 frets 34" scale length 18mm string spacing (but adjustable to around 17mm to 19mm) dot markings on the side of the neck for normal fret positions, and double dot for octave Electronics: volume control with pull push for active passive switch pick up selection control treble boost/cut (works as overall tone control in passive mode) bass boost/cut There is also a switch which I honestly don't know what it does! (help me out here if someone else knows) It has the overall impact of giving a general bottom end boost) some research suggests that this is sometimes a coil tap on these bass which would suggest that the boost I'm hearing is engaging the full power of the bridge humbucker but allow a more traditional jazz bridge 'Jaco' tone when desired. If anyone has more info this please comment or send me a message Body Ash (I think) sunburst Dark brown to black Scratch Plate: marbled silver Neck:Bolt on Maple with rosewood fingerboard (I think) I'm located in Lincolnshire (Bourne, near Peterborough) for test playing or pick up. But I'm also happy to use a courier (will be well packaged!) at cost to the buyer. Pictures attached (including lots of close ups of the buckle rash!). If you have any questions, then let me know.

Would you be interested in trading for a Sandberg JM5 Custom (5 string jazz bass with 34" scale)

Thanks for all the interest, this is now sold and 'en route'

My Markbass Little Mark II head up for sale I've owned it from new bought from ElectroMusic in Doncaster, one of the original "made in Italy" lines. Always been great and reliable, never any problems - I'm only selling since I bought a Mark Tube 800 on here last month since I need the separate gains per channel. Most know this spec but its a 500w at 4-Ohms workhorse. Pick up it (or try it out) from Bourne, South Linconshire (15 miles north of Peterborough) Delivery available, but let me know where to, to get a quote. No damage, but the expected odd little scuff from use Any questions let me know.

Its been a long time but this is still available if anyone is interested, not trying to rush a sale (as you can tell) but let me know if you are interested.

Still for sale if anyone is interested

Bump?

I've had some interest but not takers yet. I nearly put it on ebay at the weekend but couldn't bring myself to do it. Bump for a great price and let me know if you have any trade ideas....fretted or fretless, I'm open to suggestions but I won't add cash so don't offer me a bass worth more the £1200 unless you want to give me some of the bass as a Christmas present!

Thanks for the kind words...It really is a great bass! Here are a couple of recordings, the first is a recording of a rehearsal for a Church Service which went out on BBC1 a few years ago. The signal is taken from the Little Mark Bass II D.I. output set flat with the pickup selection rolled to more bridge than Neck. [url="https://soundcloud.com/simbass-2/you-are-good"]https://soundcloud.com/simbass-2/you-are-good[/url] The Second one is just to show the versatility of the bass. A lot of people still associate Warwick with Rock but this is a snippet of me playing a Jazz standard. The Recording is just a hand held zoom in a Cambridge 'Basement' at a Jazz gig so is not great quality but you get the idea. [url="https://soundcloud.com/simbass-2/am-i-blue"]https://soundcloud.com/simbass-2/am-i-blue[/url] Any other questions let me know. Anyone is welcome to come and have a go on 'Great Uncle Bulgaria' (that's his name) I'm in south Lincolnshire

Never did get round to putting it on ebay...any takers on the new lower price before I really do put it on evil-bay? [b]£950 [/b]+ delivery (or meet close to South Lincolnshire)

Any interest at all?

I really don't want to resort to Ebay for this beautiful bass. Price Dropped to reflect this...or make me an offer. Cheers
